Color: An extremely bright, warm amber containing hints of mahogany and gold.
Aroma: Spicy notes and tobacco leaf blend with ethereal hints of dried fruit and bold notes of walnut and fig. It is easy to recognize the wine from which the brandy is made, expressed in notes recalling sherry, port and marsala.
Taste: Smooth, intense, persistent. Yellow candied fruit blends with fruit preserved in spirits and spicy notes of cinnamon, allspice and cloves. The complex notes of walnut leaf and newly dried tobacco leaf stand out, as well as coffee and fortified wines such as madeira. Finishing in barrels used in the making of Italy's classic Amarone della Valpolicella wine adds a winy, tannic touch underlining the spirit's structure and balance.
